PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.     Basis of Presentation

The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Holding Company”), a Delaware corporation, is the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Flushing Bank (the “Bank”).

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) include the collective results of the Holding Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the Bank, Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation, which was dissolved as of June 30, 2021, Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc., which are collectively herein referred to as “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company.”

The Holding Company also owns Flushing Financial Capital Trust II, Flushing Financial Capital Trust III, and Flushing Financial Capital Trust IV (the “Trusts”), which are special purpose business trusts. The Trusts are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company would not absorb the losses of the Trusts if any losses were to occur.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such presented periods of the Company. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

When necessary, certain reclassifications were made to prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on prior period net income or shareholders’ equity and were insignificant amounts.

​

2.     Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term, including novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 and its associated variants (“COVID-19”) related changes, are used in connection with the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, the review of the need for a valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the fair value of financial instruments.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

In response to COVID-19, the Company actively assist customers by providing modifications in the form of deferrals of interest, principal and/or escrow for terms ranging from one to thirty months. At September 30, 2021, we had 38 active forbearances for loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of approximately $162.0 million resulting in total deferment of $9.5 million in principal, interest and escrow, down from 134 active forbearances for loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $364.4 million at December 31, 2020. The Company actively participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), closing $310.3 million of these loans since the beginning of the program, with $179.5 million of those PPP loans forgiven by the SBA as of September 30, 2021, of which $66.5 million were forgiven during the recent quarter. Pursuant to the CARES Act and later modified by Consolidated Appropriations Act, certain loan modifications are not classified as “troubled debt restructuring” (“TDR”), if the related loans were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company has elected not to consider as TDR loans temporarily modified for borrowers directly impacted by COVID-19 where the above criteria was met. As such, these loans are considered current and continue to accrue interest at their original contractual terms until the completion of the applicable deferred periods, following which the borrowers will resume making payments and normal delinquency-based non-accrual policies will apply. The majority of the active forbearances are expected to be resolved by the end of 2021.

Allowance for credit losses

The Company’s estimate of expected credit losses for held-to-maturity debt securities is based on historical information, current conditions and a reasonable and supportable forecast. The Company’s portfolio is made up of three securities totaling $58.7 million (before allowance for credit losses): the first with an amortized cost of $29.9 million structured similar to a commercial owner occupied loan and modeled for credit losses similar to commercial business loans secured by real estate with an allowance for credit losses of $0.2 million at September 30, 2021; the second with an amortized cost of $21.0 million that currently is under forbearance with an individually evaluated allowance for credit loss of $0.6 million at September 30, 2021; and the third with an amortized cost of $7.9 million issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, which is a government sponsored enterprise that has a credit rating and perceived credit risk comparable to the U.S. government. Accordingly, the Company assumes a zero loss expectation from the portfolio. The security currently in forbearance is considered current and as such, continues to accrue interest at its original contractual terms. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities totaled $0.1 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and is excluded from estimates of credit losses.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Company reviewed each available for sale security that had an unrealized loss at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company evaluated whether the decline in fair value of a debt security resulted from credit losses or other factors under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Credit Losses also referred to as Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”). The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the securities. All of these securities are rated investment grade or above and have a long history of no credit losses. It is not anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment.

In determining the risk of loss for available for sale securities, the Company considered that mortgage-backed securities are either fully guaranteed or issued by a government sponsored enterprise, which has a credit rating and perceived credit risk comparable to U.S. government, the issuer of Corporate securities are global systematically important banks, the tranche of the purchased CLO’s and municipal securities remain investment grade. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. Based on this review, management believes that the unrealized losses have resulted from other factors not deemed credit-related and no allowance for credit loss was recorded.

The Company reviewed the held-to-maturity security that had an unrealized loss at September 30, 2021 as part of its quarterly CECL process. This security is currently under forbearance with an allowance for credit losses of $0.6 million at September 30, 2021.

Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $1.6 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses for debt securities held-to-maturity.

5.     Loans

Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balance net of any unearned income, charge-offs, deferred loan fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan fees and certain loan origination costs are deferred. Net loan origination costs and premiums or discounts on loans purchased are amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loans using the level-yield method. Prepayment penalties received on loans which pay in full prior to their scheduled maturity are included in interest income in the period they are collected.

Interest on loans is recognized on the accrual basis. Accrued interest receivable totaled $38.0 million and $41.5 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was reported in “Interest and dividends receivable” on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The accrual of income on loans is generally discontinued when certain factors, such as contractual delinquency of 90 days or more, indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectability of such income. Uncollected interest previously recognized on non-accrual loans is reversed from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. A non-accrual loan can be returned to accrual status when contractual delinquency returns to less than 90 days delinquent. Payments received on non-accrual loans that do not bring the loan to less than 90 days delinquent are recorded on a cash basis. Payments can also be applied first as a reduction of principal until all principal is recovered and then subsequently to interest, if in management’s opinion, it is evident that recovery of all principal due is likely to occur.

Allowance for credit losses

The Allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is an estimate that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial assets. Loans are charged off against that ACL when management believes that a loan balance is uncollectable based on quarterly analysis of credit risk.

The amount of the ACL is based upon a loss rate model that considers multiple factors which reflects management’s assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The factors are both quantitative and qualitative in nature including, but not limited to, historical losses, economic conditions, trends in delinquencies, value and adequacy of underlying collateral, volume and portfolio mix, and internal loan processes.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a benefit for credit losses on loans totaling $6.9 million compared to a provision for credit losses on loans of $2.5 million for the three months ending September 30, 2020. The Company recorded a benefit for credit losses on loans totaling $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a provision of $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The benefit recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by the improving economic outlook. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company made no changes to the reasonable and supportable forecast period or the reversion period from what was used for the June 30, 2021 ACL. The ACL - loans totaled $36.4 million at September 30, 2021 compared to $45.2 million at December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2021, the ACL - loans represented 0.55% of gross loans and 179.9% of non-performing loans. At December 31, 2020, the ACL - loans represented 0.67% of gross loans and 214.3% of non-performing loans.

Pursuant to the CARES Act and later modified by Consolidated Appropriations Act, certain loan modifications are not classified as TDR, if the related loans were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company has elected that loans temporarily modified for borrowers directly impacted by COVID-19 are not considered TDR, assuming the above criteria is met. As such, these loans are considered current and continue to accrue interest at its original contractual terms until the completion of the deferred period. Once the deferred period is over, the borrower will resume making payment and normal delinquency-based non-accrual policies will apply.

The Company may restructure loans that are not directly impacted by COVID-19 to enable a borrower experiencing financial difficulties to continue making payments when it is deemed to be in the Company’s best long-term interest. This restructure may include reducing the interest rate or amount of the monthly payment for a specified period of time, after which the interest rate and repayment terms revert to the original terms of the loan. We classify these loans as TDR.

The Company believes that restructuring these loans in this manner will allow certain borrowers to become and remain current on their loans. All loans classified as TDR are individually evaluated, however TDR loans which have been current for six consecutive months at the time they are restructured as TDR remain on accrual status and are not included as part of non-performing loans. Loans which were delinquent at the time they are restructured as a TDR are placed on non-accrual status and reported as non-accrual performing TDR loans until they have made timely payments for six consecutive months. These restructurings have not included a reduction of principal balance.

The allocation of a portion of the ACL for a performing TDR loan is based upon the present value of the future expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective rate, or for a non-performing TDR loan which is collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral. At September 30, 2021, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were modified to a TDR. The modification of loans to a TDR did not have a significant effect on our operating results, nor did it require a significant allocation of the ACL.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

​

In accordance with our policy and the current regulatory guidelines, we designate loans as “Special Mention,” which are considered “Criticized Loans,” and “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” or “Loss,” which are considered “Classified Loans”. If a loan does not fall within one of the previous mentioned categories and management believes weakness is evident then we designate the loan as “Watch”, all other loans would be considered “Pass.” Loans that are non-accrual are designated as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss. These loan designations are updated quarterly. We designate a loan as Substandard when a well-defined weakness is identified that may jeopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt. We designate a loan Doubtful when it displays the inherent weakness of a Substandard loan with the added provision that collection of the debt in full, on the basis of existing facts, is highly improbable. We designate a loan as Loss if it is deemed the debtor is incapable of repayment. The Company does not hold any loans designated as Loss, as loans that are designated as Loss are charged to the Allowance for Credit Losses. We designate a loan as Special Mention if the asset does not warrant classification within one of the other classifications, but does contain a potential weakness that deserves closer attention. Loans that are in forbearance pursuant to the CARES Act generally continued to be reported in the same category as they were reported immediately prior to modification.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Losses

​

Also included within scope of the CECL standard are off-balance sheet loan commitments, which includes the unfunded portion of committed lines of credit and commitments “in-process”. Commitments “in‐process” reflect loans not in the Company’s books but rather negotiated loan / line of credit terms and rates that the Company has offered to customers and is committed to honoring. In reference to “in‐process” credits, the Company defines an unfunded commitment as a credit that has been offered to and accepted by a borrower, which has not closed and by which the obligation is not unconditionally cancellable.

Commitments to extend credit (principally real estate mortgage loans) and lines of credit (principally home equity lines of credit and business lines of credit) totaled $445.9 million and $474.0 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

​

6.     Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank did not have any loans held for sale.

The Company has implemented a strategy of selling certain delinquent and non-performing loans. Once the Company has decided to sell a loan, the sale usually closes in a short period of time, generally within the same quarter. Loans designated held for sale are reclassified from loans held for investment to loans held for sale. Terms of sale include cash due upon the closing of the sale, no contingencies or recourse to the Company and servicing is released to the buyer. Additionally, at times the Company may sell participating interests in performing loans. There were no loans sold for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The following tables show loans sold during the period indicated:

7.     Leases

The Company has 28 operating leases for branches (including headquarters) and office spaces, ten operating leases for vehicles, and one operating lease for equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from one month to approximately 15 years, none of which has a renewal option reasonably certain of exercise, which has been reflected in the Company’s calculation of lease term.

The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption such that the Company will not recognize Right of Use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of less than 12 months from the commencement date. The Company’s operating lease expense totaled $2.2 million and $1.9 million and was recorded in Occupancy and equipment on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s operating lease expense totaled $6.6 million and $5.7 million and was recorded in Occupancy and equipment on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

​

The Company has one agreement that qualifies as a short-term lease with expense totaling approximately $34,000 for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and approximately $129,000 and $102,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, included in Professional services on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has $0.2 million and $0.3 million in variable lease payments, which include insurance and real estate tax expenses and was recorded in Occupancy and equipment on the Consolidated Statements of Income, for each of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company has $0.8 million in variable lease payments, which include insurance and real estate tax expenses and was recorded in Occupancy and equipment on the Consolidated Statements of Income, for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. At September 30, 2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term for our operating leases is approximately eight years and the weighted average discount rate is 3.2%. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.

​

Certain leases have escalation clauses for operating expenses and real estate taxes. The Company’s non-cancelable operating lease agreements expire through 2036.

The Company has long-term incentive compensation program for certain Company executive officers that includes grants of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) in addition to time-based restricted stock units (“RSU”).

As of September 30, 2021, there was $5.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU and PRSU awards granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years. The total fair value of awards vested for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The total fair value of awards vested for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $5.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The vested but unissued RSU and PRSU awards consist of awards made to employees and directors who are eligible for retirement. According to the terms of these awards, which provide for vesting upon retirement, these employees and directors have no risk of forfeiture. These shares will be issued at the original contractual vesting and settlement dates.

Phantom Stock Plan: The Company maintains a non-qualified phantom stock plan as a supplement to its profit sharing plan for officers who have achieved the designated level and completed one year of service. The Company adjusts its liability under this plan to the fair value of the shares at the end of each period.

10.     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company carries certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value in accordance with GAAP which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. At September 30, 2021, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of $14.5 million and $51.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2020, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of $14.5 million and $43.1 million, respectively. The Company did not elect to carry any additional financial assets or financial liabilities under the fair value option during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

The following table presents the financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value under the fair value option, and the changes in fair value included in the Consolidated Statement of Income – Net gain (loss) from fair value adjustments, at or for the periods ended as indicated:

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Company generally holds its earning assets, other than securities available for sale, to maturity and settles its liabilities at maturity. However, fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular instrument. Accordingly, as assumptions change, such as interest rates and prepayments, fair value estimates change and these amounts may not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale.

Disclosure of fair value does not require fair value information for items that do not meet the definition of a financial instrument or certain other financial instruments specifically excluded from its requirements. These items include core deposit intangibles and other customer relationships, premises and equipment, leases, income taxes and equity.

Further, fair value disclosure does not attempt to value future income or business. These items may be material and accordingly, the fair value information presented does not purport to represent, nor should it be construed to represent, the underlying “market” or franchise value of the Company.

Financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value are required to be measured based on either: (1) quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments (Level 1); (2) significant other observable inputs (Level 2); or (3) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

A description of the methods and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Level 1 – when quoted market prices are available in an active market. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Level 1 included one mutual fund.

Level 2 – when quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar financial instruments and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. Fair value can also be estimated by using pricing models, or discounted cash flows. Pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices and credit spreads. In addition to observable market information, models also incorporate maturity and cash flow assumptions. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Level 2 included mortgage-backed securities, CLOs, corporate debt, municipals and interest rate swaps.

Level 3 – when there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, financial instruments are classified as Level 3. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Level 3 included trust preferred securities owned and junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company.

The methods described above may produce fair values that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies, assumptions and models to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could produce different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s trust preferred securities and junior subordinated debentures valued under Level 3 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, are the effective yields used in the cash flow models. Significant increases or decreases in the effective yield in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the level that was used to determine their fair value at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

The Company did not have any liabilities that were carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

Securities:

The fair values of securities are contained in Note 4 (“Securities”) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. When there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are valued using discounted cash flows.

Non-accrual Loans:

For non-accruing loans, fair value is generally estimated by discounting management’s estimate of future cash flows with a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with such assets or, for collateral dependent loans, 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property. See Note 5 (“Loans”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(Unaudited)

Junior Subordinated Debentures:

The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures was developed using a credit spread based on stated spreads for recently issued subordinated debt instruments for issuers of similar asset size and credit quality of the Company and with similar durations adjusting for differences in the junior subordinated debt’s credit rating, liquidity and time to maturity. The unrealized net gain/loss attributable to changes in our own credit risk was determined by adjusting the fair value as determined in the proceeding sentence by the average rate of default on debt instruments with a similar debt rating as our junior subordinated debentures, with the difference from the original calculation and this calculation resulting in the instrument-specific unrealized gain/loss.

Interest Rate Swaps:

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based upon broker quotes.

The following tables set forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of selected financial instruments based on the assumptions described above used by the Company in estimating fair value at the periods indicated:

11.     Derivative Financial Instruments

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of interest rate swaps. The Company’s interest rate swaps are used for three purposes: 1) to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on certain fixed rate loans totaling $308.4. million and $316.1 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively; 2) to facilitate risk management strategies for our loan customers with $229.7 million of swaps outstanding, which include $114.8 million with customers and $114.8 million with bank counterparties at September 30, 2021 and $125.6 million of swaps outstanding, which include $62.8 million with customers and $62.8 million with bank counterparties at December 31, 2020; and 3) to mitigate exposure to rising interest rates on certain short-term advances and brokered CD’s totaling $996.5 million and $1,021.5 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Additionally, at December 31, 2020, the Company had swaps outstanding to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on a portion ($18.0 million) of its floating rate junior subordinated debentures that have a contractual value of $61.9 million. These swaps were terminated during the three months ended September 30, 2021, realizing a loss of $4.7 million upon termination.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we held derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges and certain derivatives not designated as hedges.

The Company’s derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements as part of Other Assets for derivatives with positive fair values and Other Liabilities for derivatives with negative fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $229.7 million and $143.6 million, respectively, were not designated as hedges. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $308.4 million and $316.1 million, respectively, were designated as fair value hedges. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $996.5 million and $1,021.5 million, respectively, were designated as cash flow hedges.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

For cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivative is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction effects earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, $2.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, $7.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. The estimated amount to be reclassified in the next 12 months out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is $10.5 million.

Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as hedges are reflected in “Net gain/loss from fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

14.     New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption:

In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848), which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 also amends the expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or re-measurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. We anticipate this ASU will simplify any modifications we execute between the selected start date (yet to be determined) and December 31, 2022 that are directly related to LIBOR transition by allowing prospective recognition of the continuation of the contract, rather than extinguishment of the old contract resulting in writing off unamortized fees/costs. We are evaluating the impacts of this ASU and have not yet determined whether LIBOR transition and this ASU will have material effects on our business operations and consolidated financial statements. The amendments in this Update apply to contract modifications that replace a reference rate reform and contemporaneous modifications of other terms related to the replacement of the reference rate.

Management’s Discussions and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the more detailed and comprehensive disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, please read this section in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

As used in this Quarterly Report, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” are used to refer to Flushing Financial Corporation and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Flushing Bank (the “Bank”), Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation, which was dissolved as of June 30, 2021, Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc.

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report relating to plans, strategies, objectives, economic performance and trends, projections of results of specific activities or investments and other statements that are not descriptions of historical facts may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking information is inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to, factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in other documents filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “goals,” “potential” or “continue” or similar terms or the negative of these terms. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We have no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Impact of COVID-19

Update

In response to the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 and its associated variants (“COVID-19”), the Company actively assists customers by providing modifications in the form of deferrals of interest, principal and/or escrow for terms ranging from one to thirty months. At September 30, 2021, we had 38 active forbearances for loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of approximately $162.0 million (including $121.8 million making interest-only payments) resulting in total deferment of $9.5 million in principal, interest and escrow, down from 134 active forbearances for loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $364.4 million at December 31, 2020. The Company actively participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), closing $310.3 million of these loans since the beginning of the program, with $179.5 million of those PPP loans forgiven by the SBA as of September 30, 2021, of which $66.5 million of were forgiven during the recent quarter. Pursuant to the CARES Act and later modified by Consolidated Appropriations Act, certain loan modifications are not classified as “troubled debt restructuring” (“TDR”), if the related loans were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company has elected not to consider as TDR loans temporarily modified for borrowers directly impacted by COVID-19 where the above criteria was met. As such, these loans are considered current and continue to accrue interest at their original contractual terms until the completion of the applicable deferred periods, following which the borrowers will resume making payments and normal delinquency-based non-accrual policies will apply. Over 57% of the active forbearances are expected to be resolved by year end 2021.

Management’s Discussions and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In addition, the economic pressures and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in changes in consumer spending behaviors in the communities we serve, which may negatively impact the demand for loans and other services we offer. However, the Company’s capital and financial resources have not been materially impacted by the pandemic, as our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which benefited from the actions taken by the Federal Reserve to counteract the negative economic impact of the pandemic. Future operating results and near-and-long-term financial condition are subject to significant uncertainty. Our funding sources have not changed significantly and we expect to continue to be able to timely service our debts and its obligations.

Executive Summary

We are a Delaware corporation organized in May 1994. The Bank was organized in 1929 as a New York State-chartered mutual savings bank. Today the Bank operates as a full-service New York State commercial bank. The Bank’s primary regulator is the New York State Department of Financial Services, and its primary federal regulator is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Deposits are insured to the maximum allowable amount by the FDIC. Additionally, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation has been the operation of the Bank. At June 30, 2021, the Bank owns two subsidiaries: Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc. The Bank also operates an internet branch, which operates under the brands of iGObanking.com® and BankPurely® (the “Internet Branch”). The activities of Flushing Financial Corporation are primarily funded by dividends, if any, received from the Bank, issuances of subordinated debt, junior subordinated debt, and issuances of equity securities. Flushing Financial Corporation’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “FFIC.”

Our principal business is attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those deposits together with funds generated from ongoing operations and borrowings, primarily in (1) originations and purchases of multi-family residential loans, commercial business loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, one-to-four family loans (focusing on mixed-use properties, which are properties that contain both residential dwelling units and commercial units); (2) Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and other small business loans; (3) construction loans; (4) mortgage loan surrogates such as mortgage-backed securities; and (5) U.S. government securities, corporate fixed-income securities and other marketable securities. We also originate certain other consumer loans including overdraft lines of credit. Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the result of our net interest rate margin, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, adjusted for the difference in the average balance of interest-earning assets as compared to the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. We also generate non-interest income primarily from loan fees, service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage servicing fees, and other fees, income earned on Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”), dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB-NY”) stock and net gains and losses on sales of securities and loans. Our operating expenses consist principally of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, other general and administrative expenses and income tax expense. Our results of operations also can be significantly affected by changes in the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for which changes in value are recorded through earnings, our periodic provision for credit losses and specific provision for losses on real estate owned.

Our investment policy, which is approved by the Board of Directors, is designed primarily to manage the interest rate sensitivity of our overall assets and liabilities, to generate a favorable return without incurring undue interest rate risk and credit risk, to complement our lending activities and to provide and maintain liquidity. In establishing our investment strategies, we consider our business and growth strategies, the economic environment, our interest rate risk exposure, our interest rate sensitivity “gap” position, the types of securities to be held and other factors. We classify our investment securities as available for sale or held-to-maturity.

Management’s Discussions and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We carry a portion of our financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option and record changes in their fair value through earnings in non-interest income on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. A description of the financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value through earnings can be found in Note 10 (“Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we reported net income of $25.4 million, or $0.81 per diluted common share, an increase of $6.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share from June 30, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we produced record net interest income for the sixth consecutive quarter totaling $63.4 million. The record results were achieved primarily through a reduction in the cost of funds, an increase in net gains from qualifying hedges and purchase accounting accretion.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the yield on interest-earning assets increased 15 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased five basis points from the three months ended June 30, 2021, which resulted in an increase of 20 basis points in net interest margin to 3.34% from 3.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding net gains/losses from qualifying hedges and purchase accounting adjustments, the net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 3.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 3.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Our loan portfolio is greater than 87% collateralized by real estate with an average loan to value of less than 38%. We have a long history and foundation built upon disciplined underwriting, good credit quality and a resilient seasoned loan portfolio with strong asset protection. The average loan-to-value on our non-performing real estate loans at September 30, 2021 remained conservative at approximately 35%. At September 30 2021, our ACL - loans stands at 55 basis points of gross loans and 180% of non-performing loans. Non-performing assets at the end of the quarter were 25 basis points of total assets.

The Bank and Company remain well capitalized under current capital regulations and are subject to the same regulatory capital requirements. See Note 13 (“Regulatory Capital”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020

General. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $25.4 million, an increase of $11.1 million from $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.81 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $0.31 from $0.50 for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Return on average equity increased to 15.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 9.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Return on average assets increased to 1.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 0.81% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Interest Income. Interest and dividend income increased $9.0 million, or 14.1%, to $73.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $63.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to an increase of $932.4 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $7,608.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $6,675.9 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in the average balance was primarily driven by the acquisition of Empire Bancorp, Inc. (“Empire”) in the fourth quarter of 2020 coupled with organic growth throughout 2021. Excluding prepayment penalty income from loans, net recoveries/reversals of interest from non-accrual loans, net gains from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges, and purchase accounting adjustments, the yield on total loans, net, decreased two basis points to 3.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 3.98% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Management’s Discussions and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $4.4 million, or 31.5%, to $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $14.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decline of 37 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 0.61% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 0.98% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by an increase of $579.0 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $6,310.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $5,731.9 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to the Company’s response to the Federal Reserve lowering rates.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $63.4 million, an increase of $13.4 million, or 26.9%, from $49.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase of 34 basis points in the net interest margin to 3.34% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to 3.00% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, coupled with net interest-earning assets growing $353.5 million to $1,297.5 million during the same period. Included in net interest income was prepayment penalty income from loans totaling $1.8 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, net gains from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges totaling $0.2 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and purchase accounting income adjustments of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding all of these items and other immaterial items, the net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 3.15%, an increase of 26 basis points, from to 2.89% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

(Benefit) Provision for Credit Losses. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, a benefit for credit losses was recorded totaling $6.9 million, compared to a provision of $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The benefit recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by the improving economic conditions. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, non-accrual loans increased $0.9 million to $18.3 million from $17.4 million at June 30, 2021. The current average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing loans collateralized by real estate was 35% at September 30, 2021. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.9 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from income of $1.4 million recorded in the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in banking services fee income.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $36.3 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 21.2%, from $30.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to the growth of the Company, which includes the impact of the acquisition of Empire, and merger charges of $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $34.8 million, an increase of $16.0 million, or 85.0%, from $18.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 for the reasons discussed above.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $4.9 million, or 109.4%, from $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for three months ended September 30, 2021 was 27.0% compared to 23.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflects the discontinuation of New York State and New York City tax benefits provided by the Company’s subsidiary, Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation. Due to regulations, the benefit is not available to banks with average assets of greater than $8.0 billion. Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation was dissolved as of June 30, 2021.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020

General. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $63.7 million, an increase of $32.5 million, or 104.1%, from $31.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Diluted earnings per common share were $2.02 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $0.94, or 87.0%, from $1.08 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Return on average equity increased to 13.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 7.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Return on average assets increased to 1.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 0.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Interest Income. Interest and dividend income increased $21.5 million, or 11.0%, to $216.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $195.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to an increase of $953.4 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $7,688.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $6,735.0 million for the comparable prior year period, partially offset by a decrease of 11 basis points in the yield of average interest earning assets. The increase in the average balance was primarily driven by the acquisition of Empire in the fourth quarter of 2020 coupled with organic growth. The decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to decreases of 60 basis points in the yield of taxable securities from the repayment of higher yielding securities being replaced by lower yielding securities. Excluding prepayment penalty income from loans and securities, net recoveries/(reversals) of interest from non-accrual loans, net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges, and purchase accounting adjustments, the yield on total loans, net, decreased 16 basis points to 3.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 4.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $24.4 million, or 43.6%, to $31.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $55.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decline of 62 basis points in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities to 0.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 1.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by an increase of $574.9 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $6,439.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $5,865.0 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to the Company’s response to the Federal Reserve lowering rates.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $185.3 million, an increase of $45.8 million, or 32.9%, from $139.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase of $378.5 million in net interest-earning assets to $1,248.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $869.9 million for the comparable prior year period, coupled with a 45 basis point increase in the net interest margin to 3.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Included in net interest income was prepayment penalty income from loans and securities totaling $4.9 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, net recovered interest from non-accrual loans totaling $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges totaling $1.0 million and ($2.2) million for nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and purchase accounting income adjustments of $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding all of these items, the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 3.07%, an increase of 33 basis points, from to 2.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(Benefit) Provision for Credit Losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a benefit for credit losses was recorded totaling $5.7 million, compared to a provision of $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The benefit recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by improving economic conditions, partially offset by net charge-offs totaling $3.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, non-accrual loans were stable $18.3 million. The current average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing loans collateralized by real estate was 35% at September 30, 2021. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $4.0 million, a decrease of $8.3 million from the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net losses from fair value adjustments to a net loss totaling $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to net gains of $2.0 million for the same period in 2020.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $108.5 million, an increase of $17.4 million, or 19.1%, from $91.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to the growth of the Company, which includes the impact of the acquisition of Empire.

Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes increased $45.1 million, to $86.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $41.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for the reasons discussed above.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $12.7 million from $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 26.3% compared to 24.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflects the discontinuation of New York State and New York City tax benefits provided by the Company’s subsidiary, Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation. Due to regulations, the benefit is not available to banks with average assets of greater than $8.0 billion. Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation was dissolved as of June 30, 2021.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets. Total assets at September 30, 2021 were $8,077.3 million, an increase of $100.9 million, or 1.3%, from $7,976.4 million at December 31, 2020. Total loans, net decreased $65.5 million, or 1.0%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, to $6,594.0 million from $6,659.5 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to PPP loan forgiveness totaling $159.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Loan originations and purchases were $891.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $203.1 million, or 29.5%, from $688.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In order to support our customers during this COVID-19 pandemic, we originated $138.7 million of PPP loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We continue to focus on the origination of multi-family residential, commercial real estate and commercial business loans with a full banking relationship. The loan pipeline was $530.7 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $354.6 million at December 31, 2020.

​

The Bank maintains its conservative underwriting standards that include, among other things, a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less and a debt coverage ratio of at least 125%. Multi-family residential (excluding underlying co-operative mortgages), commercial real estate and one-to-four family mixed-use property mortgage loans originated and purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 had an average loan-to-value ratio of 45.3% and an average debt coverage ratio of 183.3%.

The Bank’s non-performing assets totaled $20.2 million at September 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 4.2%, from $21.1 million at December 31, 2020. Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.25% at September 30, 2021 and 0.26% at December 31, 2020. The ratio of ACL - loans to total non-performing loans was 179.9% at September 30, 2021 and 214.3% at December 31, 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, mortgage-backed securities increased $179.7 million, or 43.6%, to $592.0 million from $412.4 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in mortgage-backed securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the purchase of securities totaling $310.9 million at an average rate of 1.28%, partially offset by maturities and principal repayments of securities totaling $118.2 million, and the decline in the fair value of the securities totaling $10.8 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, other securities, decreased $30.8 million, or 10.5%, to $262.6 million from $293.4 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in other securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was primarily due to maturities, sales and calls totaling $233.5 million, partially offset by purchases of $197.5 million at an average rate of 0.53% and an increase in the fair value of other securities of $5.8 million. At September 30, 2021 other securities primarily consist of securities issued by mutual or bond funds that invest in government and government agency securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds and CLOs.

Management’s Discussions and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liabilities. Total liabilities were $7,409.2 million at September 30, 2021, an increase of $51.8 million, or 0.7%, from $7,357.4 million at December 31, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to depositors increased $330.7 million, or 5.4%, to $6,421.4 million due to an increase of $428.9 million in non-maturity deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $98.3 million in certificates of deposit. The decrease in certificates of deposit was due to management’s decision to allow these deposits to mature and replace with lower cost funding. The increase in non-maturity deposits was due to increases of $469.7 million and $162.6 million in money market accounts and demand deposits accounts, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $187.5 million and $15.9 million in NOW accounts and savings accounts, respectively. Included in deposits were brokered deposits totaling $605.8 million, a decrease of $468.2 million from $1,074.1 million at December 31, 2020.  Borrowed funds decreased $268.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as the increase in deposits funded balance sheet growth.

Equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased $49.1 million, or 7.9%, to $668.1 million at September 30, 2021 from $619.0 million at December 31, 2020. Stockholders’ equity increased due to net income totaling $63.7 million, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $7.3 million and the net impact of vesting and exercising of shares of employee and director stock plans totaling $4.4 million. These increases were partially offset by declaration and payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock of $0.63 per common share totaling $19.9 million and 285,643 shares repurchased totaling $6.4 million. Book value per common share improved to $21.78 at September 30, 2021 compared to $20.11 at December 31, 2020.

Cash flow. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, funds provided by the Company’s operating and financing activities amounted to $59.6 million and $48.3 million, respectively. These funds were utilized to fund $86.7 million in investing activities. The Company’s primary business objective is the origination and purchase of multi-family residential loans, commercial business loans and commercial real estate mortgage loans and to a lesser extent one-to-four family (including mixed-use properties) and SBA loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net total of loan purchases, originations, loan repayments and sales was an inflow of $64.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company funded $508.4 million in purchases of securities available for sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, funds were provided by sales, calls, prepayments and maturities of available for sale securities totaling $352.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, funds were provided by an increase in deposits totaling $352.3 million. The funds were used to repay $251.4 million in long-term borrowings and $25.0 million in short-term borrowings. The Company also used funds totaling $19.9 million for dividend payments and $7.8 million for purchases of treasury stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Economic Value of Equity Analysis. The Consolidated Statements of Financial Position have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in fair value of certain investments due to changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of financial investments such as loans and securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could result in decreases in the fair value of the Company’s interest-earning assets which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations if such assets were sold, or, in the case of securities classified as available for sale, decreases in the Company’s stockholders’ equity, if such securities were retained.

The Company quantifies the net portfolio value should interest rates immediately go up 200 basis points or down 100 basis points, assuming the yield curves of the rate shocks will be parallel to each other.  Net portfolio value is defined as the market value of assets net of the market value of liabilities. The market value of assets and liabilities is determined using a discounted cash flow calculation. The net portfolio value ratio is the ratio of the net portfolio value to the market value of assets. The changes in value are measured as percentage changes from the net portfolio value at the base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at September 30, 2021. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. At September 30, 2021, the Company was within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for each interest rate level.

Income Simulation Analysis. The Company manages the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a continuous basis to maximize return and adjust its exposure to interest rate risk. On a quarterly basis, management provides a report for review by the ALCO Investment Committee of the Board of Directors. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income and net portfolio value through various interest rate scenarios.

The starting point for the net interest income simulation is an estimate of the next twelve month’s net interest income assuming that both interest rates and the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at period-end levels. The net interest income simulation assumes that changes in interest rates change gradually in equal increments over the twelve-month period. Prepayment penalty income is excluded from this analysis. Based on these assumptions, net interest income would be reduced by 3.4% from a 100 basis point increase in rates over the next twelve months. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

At September 30, 2021, the Company had a derivative portfolio with a notional value totaling $1.5 billion. This portfolio is designed to provide protection against rising interest rates. See Note 11 (“Derivative Financial Instruments”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

A portion of this portfolio is comprised of forward swaps on certain short-term advances and brokered CDs totaling $996.5 million.  At September 30, 2021, $591.5 million of the forward swaps are effective swaps at a weighted average rate of 1.95% that largely mature by the end of 2023 and $405.0 million of the forward swaps become effective at different points through 2024, at an average rate of 0.77%. A summary of maturity dates and effective dates of our forward swaps on short-term advances and brokered CDs held at September 30, 2021, are shown in the table below:

The net interest income simulation incorporates the next twelve months (through September 30, 2022) and only a portion of the effective swap maturities and the forward starting swaps are included in this period. Assuming another equal increment ramp of 100 basis points increase in rates in the second year (through September 30, 2023), for a total of 200 basis points over two years, the total derivative portfolio has a 1.7% benefit to net interest income (versus the base case) in the first year and a cumulative benefit of 4.8% by the second year.

AVERAGE BALANCES

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. The following tables sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields include amortization of fees which are considered adjustments to yields.
